_Phi_. Madam, what more?
_Are_. Turn then away thy face. _Phi_. No. _Are_. Do. _Phi_. I cannot endure it: turn away my face? I never yet saw enemy that lookt So dreadful, but that I thought my self As great a Basilisk as he; or spake So horribly, but that I thought my tongue Bore Thunder underneath, as much as his: Nor beast that I could turn from: shall I then Begin to fear sweet sounds? a Ladies voice, Whom I do love? Say you would have my life, Why, I will give it you; for it is of me A thing so loath'd, and unto you that ask Of so poor use, that I shall make no price If you intreat, I will unmov'dly hear. _Are_. Yet for my sake a little bend thy looks. _Phi_. I do. _Are_. Then know I must have them and thee. _Phi_. And me? |
